The “watch” straps come in 6 different vibrant colors: red, blue, green, pink, tan and black. No more time spent regretting the past or worrying about the future. Glances at your wrist throughout the day will constantly remind you to live in the moment. It’s a great gift idea! Oh, and be sure to wear one yourself!
